Good Days, Bad Days, Questions and M

[misscam]

Life can be such a balance of good days, bad days at times. Wednesday - bad. Woke up in the middle of the night to throw up, had drooled blood all over my pillow (yuck!), jaw hurt like whoa, it rained, generally pissy attitude to the world. Thursday - good. Got money, went shopping (including my own pair of chucks. Yes, I am sad. Shut up), got my hair cut and coloured, jaw hurt less, laughed at Eurosong entries, the sun was warm and things were good.

Only minor drawback was the fact that Norwegian customs have decided to tax my mini Ten, which I don't get, cos he's below the tax value, and the rest of the shipment are books, which are not taxed in Norway, so... Whatever, customs. I hate in your general direction. (Of course, they will tax like whoa the shipment I just ordered from BBCshop, with shiny classic Who and stuff, but ah well.)

So... Right. Have stuff to catch up on, and also, newbies on my flist again. Hello.

Oh, babydoll.

So, rhipowered wanted to poke me with questions, because she's a curious being. And I like that in a person, so I replied.

1. What's hotter, Catherine/Warrick or Grissom/Sara?

Heh, fandom might smack for this - but Catherine/Warrick. On a purely shallow basis, I just find them hotter people, and they act more passionately. Also, younger. Grissom is fifty, and that does matter in the bedroom department. Grissom and Sara appeals to me in different ways.

2. If you wrote an epic fic, what fandom would it be in, and what would it be about?

Lord of the Rings. AU, if Galadriel took the One Ring. I've always pondered that one, but it would be such a mammoth, mammoth undertaking I'm not sure I'd have the drive to finish. Plus, others have already gone there.

3. What's your favourite language (besides Norwegian)?

Gaelic.

4. Do you feel like you just can't escape Doctor/Rose, even though canon might make it seem sappy as hell?

*scratches head* I guess I can be a sappy fangirl with the best of them, really. I quite enjoy it. It can become a bit overwhelming in fandom, and the show does push it a lot, and they are the two main characters, so I can understand those who don't like it might feel a bit frustrated. And parts of the fandom can get way, way too... hum... OTP-obsessed about it. (See: bashing characters like Mickey, or Lynda, and Character X from spoilers.) I wish some of the darker aspects of it could get considered as well at times. I suspect I'd be more bugged about it all if I was less of a sap.

5. What really DOES make David Tennant sexy? To you, at least.

Oh dear. Well, I didn't find that hot when I first saw pictures of him, though I did stick him in the 'not bad, not bad at all' category. Then I heard his accent. I have a thing for Scottish accent (heck, I'd even do Sean Connory for the accent), so that definitely caught my attention. And he seemed so delightful enthusiastic about his job, and I saw him in Blackpool and... Yeah, I don't know. He seems funny, and able to laugh at himself, and a geek and that I find attractive. It all just adds up to a package of things I find attractive in a male, and suddenly, he's even looking hot like whoa.

From seti_drd:
This is how it works: Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter in your journal, including an explanation what the word means to you and why, and then pass out letters to those who want to play along.

I was given 'M'.

Morning. What I mostly don't like, as I am a night person. However, I will sometimes stay up for it and find the stillness at dawn completely charming.
Manners. What the Internet doesn't excuse you from having. Doesn't hurt to say 'please' when you ask a favour, or be a little polite at times.
Merry. What I mostly am, despite what you might think.
Moose. What Norway is full of, and I like to eat. They're very tasty. And also, scariest thing I've ever had happen to me while driving was almost hitting a moose thatcame running out.
Male. The gender I want to have sex with. Has many hot members, and many assy members. The two are not always mututally exclusive, alas.
Multicultural. Not just a PC word. Welcome to the future, hard as it might be.
Middle. Where I often like to hang out. I'm not too fond of the extremes, as a general rule.
Manacle. Doctor Who has made me enjoy a bit of bondage visuals. Oh dear.
Morals. Yes, I do have some. Humanitarian inspired, not tied to religion. I think it's important to have morals, but not to loose yourself in them and think only yours are right. And be very, very careful what immoral things you excuse in the name of "greater morals". That's a slippery slope.
Mildew. There is a mildew that apparently strike people of Scandinavian decent with rashes (it was featured on CSI, and I went and checked the facts), which amuses me. What this mildew find so loveable about Viking feet, I have no idea, but has to be something. Our feet are the bestest. Or something.

heh heh....if I were a judge, I so would do that :D

Quote from someone off the site :
"There seems to be a tendency of judges having more and more fun, and this worries me." Huh?

Besides, having to read & write many long pages of judicial precedents etc. would be time-consuming and boring after a while. (Trust me. I know :D) I like to see my judges having fun - that means that there's still hope for me :)

..and somehow, I prefer the old K-9 better. The new version reminds me strongly of one of those Japanese Poo-chi dogs (or some name like that anyway)

[kateorman.livejournal.com]

*scratches head* So, what if you pirate child pornography?

[falena]

Multicultural. Not just a PC word. Welcome to the future, hard as it might be.

*claps hands and nods like mad*

Hope today will be another good for you!
And, since I'm a curious bitch...what colour is your hair now? And your pair of chucks? Pics, please? :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I see nothing wrong with having some fun while doing your work as long as, you know, you still do it well. There's even research to suggest a little fun enhances your work performance. So there.

Oh dear, now you gave me images of fangirl-Japanese K9, and it burnssss.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You're... in the axis of evil?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It's red.

You want pics of my shoes? What are you, a shoe!porn person? :P

[falena]

Well, I actually meant pics of both your new hairdo and your shoes. *G*
Anyway, I think it's safe to assume they're not pink.

[piaffe.livejournal.com]

Fun is good. I suppose most people's idea of the law is all dry and serious, and they figure that most judges wouldn't notice a sense of humour, if it danced the YMCA in front of their bench, wearing naught but a handkerchief :)

...and bouncy anime Sarah-Jane, with unusually-coloured hair, and big....okay. enough of that.

David Tennant does look very sexy. And his name is very appropriate, seeing what role he is playing :) Just wish ABC would hurry up and start showing the new series in Australia, pronto! *pleads* Pick it up again...don't drop it...I remember my sis (not a Who fan) getting excited because he was wearing Chucks.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

ack, hope you're feeling better soon *hugs*

and I'm so jealous because of that Ten!doll although I don't understand the taxing. Is that common? Didn' think it would make such a big difference if you're in the EU or not...

[piaffe.livejournal.com]

and chucks are cool. I remember owning a pair, way back when I was younger - before they were 'the thing'. They were nice and light purple. I think they were genuine (if not, a very good copy)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

People generally have a lot of Wrong Ideas, me thinks. Seems to come with the human genes, or something.

Ugh, WRONG. NO.

I'm sure ABC will pick it up and you can enjoy the goodness. Fingers crossed, at very least.

And I also had a pair of chucks when I was way younger. They were red and nice.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I shall see what I can do :P

And heck no. They're black. I wnated grey, but they were out in my size. Woe.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It's Norway. We got taxes that makes grown men whimper. All merchandise - minus some things, like books - get 23% goods tax. If you buy stuff from abroad, you have to pay that tax unless you're under a certain value. Which I was, but customs wants to be a bitch, or something.

We're not in the EU, so I don't know if that affects it as well.

[falena]

Heh, I hate when that happens. Looking on the bright side, though, black is cool and can be worn with any combination of colours.

[adoraheatherly.livejournal.com]

I'd love a letter. :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oui.

They look exactly like that, though, so in a way, you've already seen them.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm going to be evil and tricky and give you 'c'.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hair.

[aervir.livejournal.com]

You actually do eat moose in Norway? But they are cute! (Well, okay, so are piglets and cows and lambs, which doesn't prevent me from tucking in roast pork or sausages.)

And if owning a pair of chucks makes you a sad person, I'm pathetic, too. I needed the trainers for a fancy-dress party, though.

Oh, and by the way, got your drabble request here>7a>.

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Of course, what I meant to link to was here.

[anckyria.livejournal.com]

This is meagre consolation, perhaps, but the Finnish VAT is 22% on almost everything. :(

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

But don't we have some kind of trading agreement? ack, however, 23% tax already make my eyes water and I don't even have to pay it

[velocityofsound.livejournal.com]

Why won't YTDAW load for me when there is babydoll mocking to be had? *is foiled* *pouts*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, if we didn't, we get extra tax on it as well. This is just the normal tax.

Told ya Norway is insane in the tax department. (Though, it should be added we make a lot more money as well.)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes, we do. The moose are not at all endangered, so we hunt a number of tehm each year. And then we eat them, because they're tasty.

Ah, danke.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

She posted in the "Cath's Match" thread again.

If the Cath/Warrick chemistry just completely vanished, and Cath and Nick did hook up, with a LO-OT of chemistry, what would you say?

[velocityofsound.livejournal.com]

If the Cath/Warrick chemistry just completely vanished

Well, considering the amount of screen time he gets... ;)

I'd reply, but I don't believe comments on purple monkeys and their habits regarding flight out of my butt would be polite.

[immoralilly.livejournal.com]

I'm really intreguied...

Babydoll's spelling intrigues me a lot.

Hope your jaw gets better soon!

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Ingen årsak! (And this time, I didn't confuse it with the Swedish equivalent...)

[wiccagirl24.livejournal.com]

Chucks are awesome. I have 12 pairs. No black ones yet.

So basically, Babydoll wants canon to change completly. She wants the show to change completly, to justify her ship.

*rolls eyes* Oh Babydoll, you amuse me.

mmmm... Manacle. *cleans up drool*

Hope your jaw feels better soon.

[padawanpooh.livejournal.com]

Aww...Misscam...hope you feel better soon *hugs*

And I know all about bleeping Customs. I think I'm on a blacklist at my local post office. Anything coming through from www.amazon.com gets slapped for taxes, even a single CD! I ended up paying more in customs fees than the CD cost in the first place. Then my dad orders an ENORMOUS box of DVDs from the States, and lots of space patches and gets no customs tax whatsoever...

[binx-349.livejournal.com]

Oh, babydoll.

*snort* Well, she certainly perserveres.

Hope you're feeling better. *provides with tea*

[binx-349.livejournal.com]

also, I do believe my spelling is as bad as hers. perserveres? wtf. Perseveres.

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

Jihad vs. Long war <- Anyone wanting to take in a scared Yank who wants out of her country? UKers and Canuckistans looking for a slave would be please.

Sean Connery: isn't he alleged to be a sexist pig? *yuk-face* But, god yes, Blackpool was when I discovered Tennant was sex incarnate.

Gimme a letter. Let's see what I find.

(Where's the other drabbles? T.T)

[falena]

Oooh, lovely shade. Not too red. I like it. ;)

[kittycatness.livejournal.com]

Drool is gross. Blood is kind of cool, only not in saliva or on pillows.

Is this your first YOUR pair of chucks? What colour are they?
And what colour did you get your hair coloured?

David Tennant is just... yummy.

That mildew? It's gross. And itchy.

Nothing is worse than child pornography unless it is the mutilation of a child while that child is being made to perform in child pornography. It's disgusting and wrong and I hate it. And to have copying a CD on the same level is completely ludacris.

well, the FAQ on their site says "There is no news yet about when Australia, Canada or the USA will start showing series 2." Hopefully that means that they have bought the rights, but are waiting to show it. Or something. I remember that with the first series, ABC started showing it a few eps in, so I'm hoping it will show up soon.

*envy* 'School Reunion' has Sarah-Jane, K9, and Anthony Stewart-Head in it. So want to watch this one.

[elvea-aure.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I'd like a letter...
